Although we are increasingly becoming secular (via allowing individualism to increasingly emerge), religiosity and tribalism are still part of being a human. A sample of such group-think are provided in the below list:
I started by lifting weights in the gym (my apartment had one). However once this orthodox part of the Occidental culture soon revealed its insipid nature, it naturally lead me to the world of calisthenics. I think the whole fitness industry is overrated, and the general population should avoid it like plague.
The quality of a social network (or a community more generally) tends to decline as it grows to encompass a larger portion of the general public. This is because the network starts to reflect the “median” of the human condition, which is typically of average quality. The median represents the orthodox, mundane, and conventional aspects of society.
